I think your friend was referring to the windows swap file for virtual memory settings. Under NT and Unix, it is sometimes called the page or paging file. Historically, page refers to a contiguous block of memory, and for a given system, all pages are the same size. The last time I had to use pages was in the old DOS environment, and pages were 16384 bytes of ram. Under 32bit programming (windows) its just a holdover name convention.

A friend has referred to the phrase and I can't find much of anything useful on the web about it.
